It’s your favorite time; Oracle Cards!!
 
Boy were they screaming to be pulled a few days before Spring Equinox! This time, something new was very vocal as well.

I heard that instead of just what color you’re drawn to, choose which gemstone speaks to you. It has the properties you most need right now during this time before Summer Solstice.
 
It was strongly suggested that you infuse your energy field (aura) with your gemstone. For instance, if Rubies are calling to you, imagine your whole aura filled with beautiful Rubies and allow the property of Rubies to be an attractor to bring forth the healing needed.
 
You can even use the gemstone as a grounding cord, and infuse it into the chakra corresponding to that color.
 
Each color not only has the gemstone message, but an Oracle message as well. Once the specific gemstone for each color made itself known, then the Oracle card was pulled.
 
Interestingly as you’ll see below, Sapphires were predominant. Sapphires are known as the “wisdom stone.”
 
As usual, sit with your choice before picking your usual color. Which gemstone has the message you most need through the Oracle card and gemstone meaning?
 
Happy picking, and let me know if your gemstone and card resonates with you!

One of the greatest freedoms is the freedom to be yourself, fully and completely, regardless of what others will think. I’m not talking about being irresponsible and doing whatever you desire at the cost of others. I’m talking about showing the truth of you; your style, your preferences, your quirkiness, your uniqueness- you!
 
To some, that idea is appalling as what others think is paramount. And I get it. Many of us were raised with the idea of, “what will people think?!”
 
That can be a hard issue to overcome. I know I had to release layers of self-consciousness and worry over something someone else might be thinking. While also releasing the subconscious message of perfection that quite frankly, is unattainable and certainly not fun.
 
The more I worked through it while getting comfortable and confident in my skin, the more I realized if someone else has an issue, that’s their problem.
 
If it makes you happy and isn’t harming anyone, then live your life.
 
You need to dare to be yourself.
 
Here’s a simple example: I love stickers. A card isn't a card without stickers. I had always done it for friends, but then I expanded it to holiday cards. I spend a crazy amount at the sticker store- yes there is a sticker store in LA- and I use stickers on everyone's card. Do I know some people make fun of me? Yes. Do I care? Hell no- it's stickers and if someone is too proper and uptight to appreciate my stickers, that's their issue, not mine. If I can spread joy to anyone, why wouldn't I? Plus, it's fun- stickers are fun!
 
This is what I mean. No one would ever call me cool, and I have no problem with that. Cool requires a lot of work and my time is better spent.
 
I bring this up today as it’s been coming up in sessions lately; how to own the fullness and richness of your true self. Recognizing your value and what you bring to the table when you’re authentic.
 
If this issue triggers you, don’t judge it, simply ask, “what’s the worst that could happen if I showed up authentically?” Then listen to or write out the answers. Maybe you’re afraid of being laughed at, ostracized, or rejected. Quite possibly, there are those in your life who would respond that way. But if you’re always living to please another, you’re shrinking your own light and gifts of what you bring to the world. Don’t do that. Work through your fears, clear the pain of past incidents from childhood or adolescence, and then honor your current truth. In baby steps to make it easier and less scary. 
 
When you own who you truly are from a place of empowerment, you find it's a lot more fun to be real than to be perfect. Dare to show your true self.

Recently I got stuck for a few days, swirling in a mental loop of lack. Everything I thought about was from a mindset of “not enough.” No matter what I did or focused on, I couldn’t shift it at its core.
 
After asking my unseen team for help, I was in the shower (I always get insights and ah-has in the shower), and the power of love popped into my mind. I then thought,
 
“If love is all there is, why am I playing in a frequency of fear and lack?”
 
That one question shifted everything. I took my power back from my victim mindset (that something outside me has power over me), and immediately put myself into a frequency of love. I focused only on love. Not necessarily things or people I love, although that did augment the feeling, but the uplifting energy of love itself. I felt the power of love with every fiber of my being and refused anything less than that.
 
The focus on lack came from an old wound that clearly surfaced to be healed. Once I stopped judging it and myself, I could send love into the wounded places in myself, healing them. I could release what no longer served me, to move towards a future that does.
 
Being the love, I could talk to my inner child and calm her fears, while also bringing my nervous system into present time.
 
If I had stayed in fear, none of that would’ve been possible.
 
It’s not a one and done. I now remind myself each morning to come from love first, and to look at beautiful possibilities, rather than fears. That shift in perspective is instantly uplifting. You can further that with a mantra from Rev. Michael Beckwith, “Something good is about to happen.”
​
 Also add in the self-love question I posed in the blog two weeks ago.
 
I encourage you to see if there’s an area in your life right now that has an absence of love. You can identify it by anywhere you hold fear, resentment, hurt, blame, conflict, anger, or powerlessness. Take a moment and fill that space with love. Take your power back from the pain and be love.
 
Imagine yourself and the situation bathed in the light of love. Elevate it beyond what you can imagine. That’s the transformative power of love; it can create miracles where previously you couldn’t see any.
